I will say... one guide P99 could use is a Chardok 2.0 guide with all named mob PHer spots located on a map, their common,uncommon and rare drops listed, and the level/class of the named mob.

That zone is going to release on P99 some time this year probably and P99 fatcats want to know which named mob to sit on to sell the drops.

Chardok 2.0, do you mean what we call ChardokB on live? It's the zone right off chardok with a healthy mix of undead enemies and living.

I thought that zone was added in during LoY - I haven't been there in like over a decade though.

I *do* have a zone guide for Chardok with named locations on map, their drops (common,uncommon and rare isnt differentiated yet on my guide but I know enough about the zone that I probably can do that in a moment if it would be that useful)

Here's the Chardok guide i have: http://www.almarsguides.com/eq/level...ns/Chardok.cfm


Also thanks a TON for all your other info - you taught me something i didn't even know about my own TLP!! I forgot that you had to be the same class to do the ToV armor turn ins, now that you mention it though I do remember looting a bunch of chain on my Druid wanting to do ranger turn ins and it just ate my materials... I didn't add that to my guides though and I have to!


And I wouldn't say so much that I want to make guides "just for P99" but I want to make sure that my guides work for you guys too. I don't want someone who plays on P99 to be googling, find my website and realize that they totally wasted their time cause everything I had to say was irrelevant to them. We share a ton of the same google searches and during velious I was on the p99 wiki daily, it's a great resource but it has a lot of mix-matched info. I just don't want to fall into that same hole.

The only P99 specific "guides" I would provide is pretty much screen shots of my ingame maps which have named locations on them and such (see my above chardok guide for examples)

It's not Chardok B, actually. The original Chardok zone went through a revamp during Velious (called Chardok 2.0 here) which added stuff like the Spirit Wracked Cord quest and Chokidai Vocal Chords as well as completely changed the various mobs you found. P99's Chardok 2.0 is the current Chardok on live now, roughly.

Currently it's in its 1.0 stage on p99, where we have mobs on that first bridge that proc a huge knockback that tends to throw people off into the bowels of the zone (because EQ loves us!).

Here's the mob for 1.0:

Here's a 2.0 mob who usually lives around the very first fort:

I can see the wiki's a bit patchy regarding info on 1.0 vs 2.0. This is gonna cause a lot of confusion...

This is the exact kind of guide that would be helpfulf to P99 permacampers.

Not sure if that's good or bad but a lot of my "leveling" guides use that format.

Howling Stones (Although the map's a bit harder to read): http://www.almarsguides.com/eq/level...lingStones.cfm

Lower Guk: http://www.almarsguides.com/eq/level...s/Lowerguk.cfm

Temple of Droga: http://almarsguides.com/eq/leveling/...pleofDroga.cfm

If it would actually be of use to people on P99 I can take close up pictures of each wing in Howling Stones (and other zones) that have named locations marked on them. Even if my guide doesn't document those locations per say maybe the maps out there could be of use.

Alternatively I could also just create an entire page on my website for maps of zones by expansion if they would actually be of use to people. Not all of my maps have named locations marked on them but most do. I could try to find maps that have all named locations marked on them though

Have you perused the wiki yet? Seems most of the maps are pretty accurate, with location markers for notable features (including named).

Of course, there is a daily post (or two) asking about places to level for class S at level U, leveling C for solo on whatever continent (K). IT varies a bit.

The Per-Level Hunting Guide (link in signature) is actually designed to answer that set of questions. It even has class-based filters now, so you can look for only hunting spots which have been recommend for your class. It also has a level filter so you can easily hide all of the ones which aren't appropriate to your level. (You can't use both at the same time, but in practice if you do the class one there are so few spots you don't really need to also filter by level.)

Oh, you’ve done a fine job man. I was not attempting to disparage it.

I've basically seen every page your wiki has to offer on each zone =P

All of my guides at the bottom of the guide I link to the P99 wiki entry and allakhazam entry for that zone too - I figure there's a good chance the player is going to use one of our three websites so instead of forcing them to waste their time googling allakhazam or p99 wiki I'd just link to them =P

I took a look at the guide too and it looks great! I remember you saying you used my guide(s) for a lot of the info and if you did I must ask how long ago? In the last two weeks I have gone back and added basically double the info to my EQ Classic/Kunark leveling guides... I now basically have a couple paragraphs for *ever single zone in the game* .. missing Runnyeye, Najena and Warsliks Woods. I know Runnyeye really well just have been lazy.. Najena and Warsliks Woods I've been to like friggen twice. So I gotta go to that zone and learn it before I write the guide... which takes much more of my time.

anyway - here's a link to the changes I have made to the classic EQ guide: http://www.almarsguides.com/eq/leveling/classic/

Some zones like Everfrost Peaks and Innothule Swamp I went into quite a bit of detail on; others I have notes to touch up like The Feerrott and ironically my favorite noob zone Misty Thicket.

Also if you wouldn't mind I may link to your page on my website a bit for some of the "good location for xyz class"

Probably years ago at this point, it was when I first started and got all my spots from other internet sources. I've since gone through every site I could find though, so I don't still actively look for new ones, but if you just added more ... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

would it be possible for you to write a guide on how to seduce Yola Sweetcookie?
